A Liberal Party member who considered running as an independent has joined a task force reviewing how the party can better support women.
in the seat formerly held by deputy premier Vickie Chapman.
"This isn't about me. This is about the future of women in this state. This is about a healthy two-party system that has a health relationship with women, and the Liberal Party has an awful lot to do to get there. Chelsey Potter said she was happy with her decision to join the task force to help engage, support and attract more women to the party.
Mr Speirs said the task force would report directly to him on ways to improve the number of women in the party. "After the Bragg by-election, our numbers — whether we win or lose that by-election — will be two women in the lower house and that's just not good enough.""If Chelsey isn't running in Bragg of course it's in my view a more straightforward path for the Liberal Party, but we need reform here," he said."I want to lead a party that reflects all of South Australia.
